I have a very collaborative style and like to draw from as many tools as possible to meet the individual needs of my clients. I work with my clients to find the best approach to meet their own goals. This can take the form of skill-building, focused trauma work, creative interventions, body-mind practice, and sometimes an out-of-the-box method is best!"
